We have finally hit the games Craig played at Origins! It only took us 6 months to get here! In this episode of the New 100, Craig talks about his plays of Century Spice Road from Plan B, Mayfair's Barenpark, and Yokohama from TMG. Also in this episode is the trick-taking game Vampire Queen, and the real time game Pit Crew from Stronghold.

In the latest episode of the New 100, Craig finishes out the new games he played in... May... He is also not so great at this job...

Craig talks about the two player game Jaipur, Villages of Valeria from Daily Magic, Dark Dealings from Nevermore, Iello's Diamant, and finally Honshu from Renegade Games. Five mostly winners in this episode, WRITE IT DOWN!

We've made it three whole years! Hooray! In this episode, Craig is joined by the family to talk about their plays and then answer some listener questions for our anniversary! In the third segment, Craig is joined by the two most important women in his life, Erin and his Mom to talk about their gaming histories and how they were drug into hobby games kicking and screaming.

The 80th episode of the podcast is a weird one. My family has disappeared and I don't know where they went. Please, someone find them and make them play games with me. Seriously though, we haven't played games in over two weeks, so Erin and Tyler get a recording reprieve. For guests, though, Craig is joined by Kimberly Revia from The Cubist and Granite Game Summit and Ruth Boyack from the 5 By Games Podcast. In their chat, the three of them discuss building your own con and the work that goes into it being a successful venture. If you've ever wanted to have your own gig, at home or elsewhere, tune in for the sweet deets.

It's the 79th episode of the podcast. In usual fashion Craig is joined by Erin and Tyler to talk about the games they've played including Massive Darkness and Castles of Burgundy before unexpectedly diving into Tyler's current gaming burnout. In the third segment, Nicole Hoye, from the Daily Worker Placement and Greatway Games, and Tiffany Caires, The OneTAR herself, join Craig to talk about board rules. What makes them good? What makes them bad? Listen and find out!

It's now time for episode 78! In this episode, Craig and the family chat about their recent plays including Dice Forge, NMBR9, and Rhino Hero Super Battle. Afterwards, Craig is joined by Kelly and Becky Rolfe from the Board Games in Bed Podcast to talk about the joys of having your significant other as your main gaming partner. It's a lovely chat with friends from across the pond. Thanks Internet!

Passing the 3/4 mark, Craig trudges through his quest to play 100 new games. Though the time frame has passed, the releases have not! In this episode, Craig covers La Granja and its multi-use card goodness, the epicness that is Ticket to Ride Rails and Sails, building a window pane in Sagrada, cube bag building and racing in Automobiles, and a whole swath of useless national knowledge in Bezier's America. Spoiler! I liked all of them!

In the 77th EVER episode of the Botch Games Podcast, Craig is joined by two very special guests to talk about the ethics of transparency and honesty in content creation and discuss their thoughts on paid reviews. Spoiler, we're not fans. In the family segment, Craig is joined by Erin and Tyler to discuss the games they've been playing, break down their thoughts on Unlock vs Exit, and Tyler ruins Craig's punchline. Spoiler, he's sad. It's a great episode, and I'm so glad your earballs get to devour the goodness that awaits you!

In a back to back extravaganza, Craig posts ANOTHER New 100 episode. You;d think he feels bad for missing another main episode. Perhaps he feels guilty for missing his July deadline for New 100 episodes. No matter the cause, he's back with five new games: two expansions, two giant games, and one he was forced to play with no knowledge of the source material. it's a real mixed bag, folks!
